Illicit deeds have just gotten a new Halloween video game banned in Australia – and it’s not because of the violence

Halloween’s Michael Myers is one of film’s most feared boogeymen, responsible for some of the most brutal on-screen deaths in horror cinema. US video game developer Illfonic looked to reproduce those terrors in its upcoming title Halloween: The Game, with gruesome killings a major focus of the gameplay: for instance, you can stomp another player’s head through a toilet seat, or fry their brain by throwing them through a television screen.

Get After Them Duke Boys with This Plymouth Fury Hazzard County Cop Car

  • The Duke boys are up to no good again. Grab the keys to the cruiser.
  • This Plymouth tribute police car has plenty of fun details that line up with the cars used onscreen in Hazzard County, right down to a service sticker from ol’ Cooter.

Is it legal to train AI models on copyrighted books? It’s complicated

You probably know by now that the AI models powering ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, and other chatbots are trained on seemingly infinite databases of published works, containing hundreds of millions of books, online articles, academic papers, and basically anything you can find on the internet.

What's A Car You've Secretly Wanted To Own, But Are Afraid To Admit You Want? - Jalopnik

They run in our head much like a well-oiled machine, at the ready for any recommendation or suggestion asked of us like cars we hate but love, the best car for a teen driver, or ones we steer friends from due to a regrettable ownership experience. There's also the list of parts we need (in physical or mental form) for whatever we're tinkering on in the garage, as well as a list of hopeful vehicles we would like to own, someday, when the price is right or the stars and planets finally align in our favor.
